Next was the Oklahoma booth. We shared seared buffalo. Man was it tasty! I found out later (from my co-worker who is an Oklahoma native) that buffalo is actually more healthy for you than beef! Oklahoma is celebrating it's 100th birthday as a state in the union, so Epcot decided to celebrate with them! This was the only time that a U.S. state was featured at the Food & Wine festival. They mounted pictures of famous landmarks, people, and historical figures that made up Oklahoma's history on three large walls. A band even began to play, complete with two fiddlers. Towards the end of their show they played a waltz and offered a spot where anyone could dance. No one moved. Dan looked at me and asked if I wanted to dance...I thought he meant where we were (in the back), so I said sure! But no, he escorted me down to the spot in front of everyone and we waltzed for the whole song! Afterwards everyone clapped and the band said we looked "beautiful." It was seriously awesome! Yay for the Dancing Chapman's class we took! And yay for a boyfriend who gently pulls me out of my shyness!
Australia was next and boy was that the best food we ate! We shared the grilled lamb chop with carmalized onions...a definite 5+++ on our taste scale. I seriously wish we could've had a whole plate full of those little morsels. Lamb has to be the yummiest thing you can cook on the barbie! After savoring every flavor of that delicious appetizer we decided to mess around in Italy, taking funny pictures by the Poseidon fountain and the wine barrels.
While Dan and I stood in line for our German cuisine the clouds decided to release their burden...all over us. Being the gentleman that he is, Dan waited in the rain for our food while I took cover under one of the awnings near the booth.
Once we got the food I realized why my friend Melissa recommended
